bcゲーム レーキバックund decided to provide grants to purchase and install solar generating facilities under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The grants are to assist public elementary schools in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima Prefectures, which the Great East Japan Earthquake hit hardest, and help educate students about the benefits of clean energy. bcゲーム レーキバックund decided to offer grants to 50 schools in three rounds from September 1, 2011, through March 31, 2014. It began accepting applications for bcゲーム レーキバックirst round from September 1 through 30, 2011.
A selection committee from bcゲーム レーキバックoca-Cola Japan Reconstruction Fund assessed the operating and environmental education plans of applicant schools, choosing 11 of them. Of that number, four are in Iwate Prefecture, with two in Miyagi Prefecture and the remaining five in Fukushima Prefecture.
bcゲーム レーキバックhiraishi Daiichi Elementary School received a consumption tax-inclusive grant from the fund of up to 30 million Japanese yen to acquire and install solar facilities. They comprise an emergency solar generator with a maximum capacity of 20 kilowatts and storage batteries with an aggregate capacity of up to 16 kilowatts.
Completion day events began with a tape cutting in front of a solar generator monitor. Participants in the tape cutting were Kojo Kazama, Mayor of Shiraishi, Tomoichi Takeda, the Principal of Shiraishi Daiichi Elementary School, Kyo Suzuki, President of Sendai Coca-Cola Bottling Co., Ltd., and year six students representing bcゲーム レーキバックchool. After the tape cutting, all of the approximately 70 year six students attended a ceremony at which a boy and girl represented that group switched on a solar generator monitor.
All of the school's students took part in bcゲーム レーキバックompletion ceremony. After opening remarks from Mr. Kazama, Mr. Suzuki spoke about the support initiatives of bcゲーム レーキバックoca-Cola Japan Reconstruction Fund and outlined the fund's assistance for installing solar facilities at the Shiraishi Daiichi Elementary School. Mr. Takeda then encouraged the students to take advantage of the solar panels and storage batteries to learn about environmental issues and consider the importance and uses of energy.
In September 2012, bcゲーム レーキバックund plans to start its second round of soliciting applications for solar facilities grants from public elementary schools in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures.
As well as serving schools through these grants, bcゲーム レーキバックund also seeks to assist with the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake. Initiatives will include constructing educational and other public facilities to help the young live normal lives again.
